Chapter 274: Answers Part 3

"I will give you some advice before I tell you about them, do not make yourself an enemy of them or engage in combat against them until you have surpassed the Advanced Cultivation Level" warned him his master.

Hearing that, Adam was shocked as he was yet to hear any cultivator surpassing the Advanced Cultivation.

From what he knew from the system, there were 6 Cultivation Levels in the Mortal Cultivation Realm, but all the cultivators that Adam knew or heard of hadn't managed to get past the second one.

"Are they really that dangerous?" asked Adam as he pulled out an arrow from his leg and launched a powerful punch at his master's stomach.

Although he knew that taking out the arrow would make it so that blood would flow out of the wound, especially if he was moving around, but that wouldn't affect him much as a cultivator.

Using his internal energy, Adam could close the wounds and his recovery speed was extremely fast anyway, so he didn't have anything to worry about.

"They are much more dangerous than you can imagine. In this world, all you have seen so far are small-time cultivation families and organisations and the reason why they all agree to work with the countries military is because of the threats that the entire world has to deal with. Some countries have much more powerful cultivators than this country and the maps that are shown to you of the world aren't necessarily real" said his master.

"Ancient cultivation families, sects, organisations or whatever you want to call them are a group of powerful, talented and capable cultivators that have over 10,000 years of heritage. Cultivation wasn't even discovered by this country at that time and the world's energy density is slowly increasing over time which is why more and more cultivators are appearing. Eventually, cultivation will become the norm and take over the world, however, those ancient groups will and are standing at the peak since they already have control of the places with the most resources and the highest energy density" he continued.

Hearing that, Adam was shocked and hadn't noticed the energy becoming denser since he had only recently become a cultivator, but the amount of cultivators they were was surprising for him.

"So the Evil Cultivation Organisation is one of these ancient groups?" asked Adam.

"Yes, if we are both speaking of the same organisation then they are a group that seeks to turn the entire world into a world of destruction, death and war, which is a world that Evil Cultivoatrs would thrive in. They are working in the shadows and other ancient groups, even if they banded together struggle to deal with them as they are working for others they cannot afford to get into conflict with. However, some of the ancient groups that aren't to do with evil cultivation also have powerful backers" answered his master.

His answer was very vague and Adam wanted to ask about who the backers were, but it wasn't important to him and it was clear that his master didn't or couldn't tell him who they were.

"Alright then, forget about their backers and the Evil Cultivation Organisation. As long as they don't have anything to do with what happened to my aunt and don't come after me, those I care about or my territory, I will delay my attack on them. Instead, let's move onto you" said Adam as he launched a powerful and fast kick towards his master's face.

His master who was deep in thought about everything he was talking to Adam about couldn't dodge the kick and blocked it with his arm and was pushed sliding backwards because of the impact, but didn't seem to be hurt by it.

"What do you want to know?" asked the old man who was open to questions from Adam who he had accepted as his disciple.

"Bernard is your name, right? Who are you? Where are you from? What cultivation level are you at?" asked Adam who had so many things that he didn't know about his master.

"Bernard! How the hell do you know that name?" he exclaimed before dashing towards Adam and pinning him down onto the ground.

"That name was given to me by my mother, but she was killed and after that, I took on a new name. The only people that knew that name should be long dead or have forgotten about it. And even if you knew of me, you wouldn't call me that name" he said.

Hearing that, Adam realised how weird and shocking it would be for him to know his name and he had no way to explain it.

He had used the Status Peerig Feature previously and all he saw was his master's first name and nothing else, but he couldn't tell his master that.

"A lucky guess" answered Adam with a wry smile.

Pushing his master off him, it was clear that by mentioning his old and real name, Adam had reminded his master of many painful memories from his life.

"Master I am sorry if I angered you and I really can't explain how I know your name, I think you must have mentioned it in your sleep or something," said Adam as his master launched two Air Palm Strikes towards him and launched him flying and slamming into a tree behind him.

"Yes, Bernard was my name, but that changed centuries ago. You want to know who I am, well for now all I can say is that I am from one of those ancient groups, a family to be exact. My family was one of the powerful ones out of the recognised ancient families and I was one of the rising talents. My twin brother wasn't as talented and became jealous" said his master with a sorrowful and reminiscent expression as he sat down and signalled for Adam to come and sit beside him.

Adam's back was aching from the powerful blow that he just suffered, but hearing his master's story and seeing that he was serious, he got up and sat beside him.
